Yes - We will have a Baker's Dozen 2005. We do not know the date except it will be in April. We had talked about limiting the number of riders, but the final decision is the more riders the better. Come one, come all.........we will just have one big party!!!!!
We are looking into having a pre-registeration, but no details as of now.
When we have more details, we will post them on the sorba-csra home page.

I will be meeting with the scout in the next few days. We will go over in detail the requirements for the sign. The scout will then submit a design to the SORBA CSRA officers for approval. Then the Canal Authority must approve the design. SORBA-CSRA will pay for the materials and the scout can build & install the sign. Because of the likelihood of vandalism of the sign, heavy-duty material will be used. The sign will state even days clockwise, odd days counterclockwise along with arrows pointing which way is which. A yearly calendar will also be located on the sign along with EMS contact numbers and a location description so the EMS can find you.

The US Forest Service is ordering carsonite post to be used as mile markers. We will install these on Turkey, Wine, Modoc and Horn Creek trails. We will also install them at trail access locations.
Once these are install the US Forest Service trail map will be revised to show the markers. An emergency response plan will be developed using the markers and maps.
We will have a work party soon to install the post.

I have been talking with the USFS about emergency medical services (EMS) accessing the MTB trails in our area. The USFS has just completed marking an OHV trail and developed a plan with the local EMS for accessing the trail. I was told that the same concept could be applied to the MTB trails. I was told that a drill with the EMS would take place to ensure everything worked as planned. I have not received any feedback about the drill. A 4”x 4” blue metal plate would be attached to trees at certain mile points. The work MILE will be on the plate along with the mile point. These would be placed every 0.5 mile. They would be placed on both sides of the same tree so there would only be one location for that mile point. Access points to the trail would be designated with a letter on the same type of marker. The marker would be placed on a tree near the road and the same letter would be placed on the trail (if the trail did not actually cross the road). The USFS maps would then be updated to reflect where the markers are located. The local EMS agencies would be given a map of each trail. All this information was discussed at this past Tuesday meeting. Everyone in attendance agreed to mark the USFS MTB trails as stated above.
